“I own many high quality headphone (Stax Lambda circa 1985, Stax SR303, AKG K1000, Sennheiser HD580, plus many other middle level phones) but I wanted a quality headphone for my office that was close to the stax. I needed something that was sealed so it would not disturb my colleagues. I also really enjoy the Audio Technica sound (similar to stax "voicing" in many ways). These fit my goal...” --jessica_fae

“I love classic and rock music. And actually my kinds of music works really better through these. Each time I listen to music, I can feel the soul of the music. Honestly I used a SoundMagic ES18 budget pairs for 3 years I assume. And they worn out, one speaker is dead, unfortunately. Then I bought these and a pair of Audio Technica ATH PRO500MKII hoping for better bass. What I got from these DJ...” --aviatorguy

“I'm an Audio Technica fanboy, and I love their sound.
Compared to the AD2000 headphone with a Gilmore Lite and Bel Canto DAC3, I actually didn't miss it when I only had my ES7.
Just a nice headphone to have for fun listening. I used the 'phat pad' mod for both.
The ES7 and the AD2000 share a more similar sound signature than the other ATH cans.
The two extremes that the various...” --dreamwhisper

i've bought them 3 days ago and i'm quiet satisfied with it ... sound is comfortable ... such a good isolation that you don't need to use high volume stages to understand details ,,, and also it's very portable!!!

“I bought these to be my main portable headphones. The form factor makes it a good choice if you're not into earbuds. When folded up, is quite convenient and slides into my bag without a problem. I used these primarily with my iPhone 4 set to EQ "Flat" while going about.
Design:
After my experiences with my T5p I really would have liked to see removable cables but then again, AT never has...” --GL1TCH3D

“
Sound
Warm, good bass extension, quite sweet highs, quite balanced sound, probably with slightly emphasized mids, not airy, recessed 300-500 Hz and 7-8 kHz. I think that the sound signature is quite similar to Audio-Technica ATH-ES10's sound signature but it's more mid-centric and not airy. The clarity is very similar too. I like the mids that are really natural. So if I can say that the...” --asko

There's a lot said on this forum about these cans. Nearly all is positive, which was also the reason for buying them. My conclusion: they REALLY need burn-in and they are fine, but not that good as some here state. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Audio Technica lover, but maybe I was expecting too much. My main cans are W1000. For portable use (and in bed) I mainly used Sennheiser PX200, but...” --thrillmetoo

“I got these on an impulse purchase while in the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Duty Free in December and have been using them a lot while travelling and playing it mostly through an ipod classic 80gb. Have also gone on to test them on the new Fiio X5.
After nearly 6 months of use I've formed a pretty good opinion of them and the main points would be:
- They look really nice and apart from the two...” --jvos213

“
These are some headphones I bought sometime last year. When I tried them, they seemed good enough for my part when I wasn't very meticulous with my headphones.
After some research, these headphones are a revival of the ATH-2, which are headphones from the 70s. The design is shared from the ATH-2, the steel headband above the leather one.
For the sound, the...” --dragonguy23

“
So I bought my amazing PC, with a HT system and the last thing I needed was a good headphone. My friends advised me to go for the Audio Technica ATH serie. They told me it was top of the bill.
I love gaming, music, movies and series. Those were the things I wanted to buy a headphone for in combination with a Zalman clip on microphone.
Audio Quality
